Thoughts on Great Expectations
During the last month, I have been reading the novel named Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I set up my mind to finish reading it for the simple reason that I have read the Chinese version of this great novel and I was deeply attracted by the story.
The main character in this novel is Pip and the whole story goes like this: Pip was a orphan and was brought up by his sister “by hand”。 His sister Mrs. Joe was very strict with him while his brother-in-law treat him kindly. As a result, the two developed a intimate relationship. Since Pip was asked to visit Miss Havishams’s house, his mind and his fate began to change. In Miss Havishams’s home, Pip saw her adopted daughter Estella and fell in love with her at the first sight. Then he was determined to be well-educated and become a gentleman in order to deserve the beautiful girl Estella. And much to his delight, he was given a large sum of money and an opportunity to study abroad by an anonymous person. After a period of time, his great expectations came true and he became a gentleman at last. However, he found out that the money was offered by the criminal he had saved when he was young. He felt ashamed and didn’t want to use the money any more. What’s worse, the criminal Magwitch escaped from prison to visit Pip and was noticed by the police. At last, Magwitch was sentenced to death and Pip led a normal life. The beautiful lady became a widow as her husband died. But Pip still loved her and promised to be friends with her all the same. This ending is a bit reaasuring.
Among those several characters in the novel, my favourite is Magwitch. He was homeless and poor when he was young and he used to be put into prison several times. No one cared about him, so when little Pip saved him by giving him some food, he felt moved. And he bore Pip’s help in his mind. When he was exiled overseas, he was determined to make a lot of money and help Pip become a gentleman. He worked hard and saved every coin he could, and then sent it to Pip. He did all of these secretly in order to prevent little Pip from being embarrassed. After Pip became a real gentleman, Magwitch returned to England in secret only to see whether Pip had led a good life. What we can find from him is deep love for Pip. Although the society has deserted him, he is not deserted by himself. Different from Miss Havishams who is black-hearted, Magwitch is like a father. He showed his love to Pip without any hesitation. He was just like Pip’s father. This is why I admire him very much.
Then when I look back into our society, I find that some parents are not as good as the criminal Magwitch. Cases are that parents push their children to work hard in order to be admitted into the college where they were eager to go when they were young. This usually leads to two consequences. One is that the children are exerted too much pressure and they go to extremes. The other is that their children do as they are told to and don’t have their independent thinking. They lack the comprehensive abilities to cope with fierce competition in today’s society. In other words, they are likely to survive in this competitive world.
God is equal to everyone. When Magwitch knew that Estella was his daughter and had been loved by Pip, he felt relieved. I am also relieved because one good turn deserves another.
There was a man who had seven sons, but he had no daughter, greatly though he longed for one. At last his wife told him that they could again expect a child and, sure enough, when it was born it was a baby girl. There was great rejoicing, but the child was weak and puny, so weak that it had to be christened at once. The father told one of the boys to go quickly to the spring and fetch christening water; the other six ran along with him, and because each of them wanted to be the first to dip the jug into the well, it fell in and sank. So there they stood and didn‘t know what to do, and none of them dared go home. When they didn‘t come back their father got impatient and said:“ I‘ll wager they‘ve been playing some game again and forgotten all about it, the godless brats.“ He was afraid the little girl would have to die unbaptized, and in his rage he cried out:“ I wish those boys would all turn into ravens.“ He‘d scarcely spoken the words when he heard a whirring of wings in the air overhead, looked up and saw seven coal-black ravens flying away.

“Great expectations” is one of Dicken’s most maturest works. After Dicken had experienced large part of meaningful life, he had a deeper cognition for people, environment, as well as the life which he had gone through. And all the mature cognitions are included in this writing---Great expectations.
Pip was brought up by his sister who was unpleasant as well as crude and her friendly blacksmith husband-Joe. Joe himself had arranged a common hard but satisfied path for Pip to go through, and on the other hand, Pip beheld this as his highest goal to achieve.
But the two things which he had experienced later had changed his pursue and his fate as well. Met Abel Magwith(an escaped convict) in the swamp, and unwillingly helped him out of danger by stealing food from his own home. If say that had changed his attitude for material life, then, his introduction to Miss Havisham, an aging woman who had been jilted at the alter and Estella who had been brought up by Havisham only to revenge for her own pain had brought vast shock for his world of spirit.
Aspiring to be a gentleman despite his humble born, Pip fortunately or unfortunately received a fund of wealth from an unknown source and being sent to London with a lawyer. From then on, he became a gentleman without question at the price of losing everything.
The title of this book is ‘Great expectations” which make an impression on us that the character would have great expectations just as the title goes. But in fact this title has a tone of sarcastic on the other way around.
This story full of quirkiness from the very beginning to the end, the relations among characters are anfractuous as well which actually attracted me a lot.
One of the paragraphs, which I appreciate most implicatively as well as beautifully expresses the feeling between Pip and Estella.
“We are friends,” said I, rising and bending over her, as she rose from the bench.
‘And will continue friends apart.” Said Estella.
I took his hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first let the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.
At the view of language, this works had achieved a step o f highest, Dicken had made this writing plain and fluent as well, which surely can attract lots of readers and high comments.
To be frank, I really impressed by this art of beauty. So I like Dicken’s works very much.

Impression of a book of Great Expectation Went to the bookstore during theholiday, I chose a book from a lot of world masterpieces, named Great Expectation, when I pick up this book, I have not expected that such an English book will have a so great impact on me, making my thoughts and feelings very deep, I think that theform and content of this book are all very outstanding. It is written by Charles Dickens,a famous writter from England,and it is not I will turn to thetopic on how it can attract me.
The character in this masterpiece left me the deep impression is Pip.He falls in lovewith Estella.He studied as hard as he could.Educating himself for her.Why did helove Estella so much? Just for her beautiful face? because she is pretty? She is rich? She is proud? In fact, I think Pip pay out so much for the love.She didnt treat him well and even that she didnt respect him at all! She put the food for him as a dog,but he didnt hate her.
On the contrary, he left from his home and his friends. He just want to be a gentleman.He abandoned a lot than he got. I cant understand why he do it in this way. I think its not worth at all. If one person dont like you or not respect you,you neednt do everything for her. So it made me quite sad.I feel sorry for Pip. He had a very difficult life.。. Miss Havisham is aslo a character who left me a deep impression.She was a pitiful lady.Her mother died young.
Her farther was very rich and very proud.with only one child,Miss Havisham,by his first wife.In fact, she should have a nice life,but her wedding was destroied by her fiance.He broke her heart and she was angry.She want to retaliate all men.She was really a abject woman.But she chose a wrong way to continue her life.。She wanted to hurt other persons.And she had done.This is no good for made her feel a little comfortable.and there was more victims in the world.there are so many persons in the world.when they were hurt they want to hurt other innocent persons.
Athough this is no good for them,but they did so.I do not know why they did Made the world full of hateness.It is difficult to understand. Thats my thought.
With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist, it is really a pretty hard job to chooseone to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finally decided to borrowGreat Expectations from the small library.
Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have bothbeen rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years old, easy to fright, and goesthrough his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wantsher to find his love, but for him being shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it veryhard for him.
Great Expectations was the penultimate novel pleted by the most popular novelist ofVictorian England, Charles Dickens. Born in Kent, England, in 1812 to a family of modestmeans but great pretensions, Dickens’s early life was marked by both humiliation andambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood, whenfollowing his father’s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in ashoepolish warehouse.
Pip meets an escaped convict,Magwitch,and gives him food, in an encounter that is tohaunt both their lives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friendsfor London society and his“great expectations”。
I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief introduction of thismasterpiece in my high school English textbook before. In addition, a Tale of Two Citieswhich is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer, left mea wonderful and deep impression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.
Of course, Great Expectations didn’t let me down, either. What’s more, the whole structureof the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full ofunexpected twists. Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover, thosewords and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully inmy notebook. By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some newphrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.
Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regardedas the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfully sorry that I was not brave enoughto read the original edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe andMagwitch more.
Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel. However, what they saidand what they did deeply touched me. It’s interesting, isn’t it? They are quite theopposite guys. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the otheris a prisoner who is believed to have mitted every evil.
I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe. When he talked about his heavydrinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife, hewould rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself. Knowingpeacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The worldrushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. But when hewas informed of Pip’s illness, he immediately came to take good care of Pip.
He is alwayscontributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant andselfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless ascowardice," says a wise author.
However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed, Magwitch did alot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know thatthe old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor?
He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents, so he considered himself as the boy’ssecond father, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kindof job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himselfthat all the money would go to Pip.
He could have led a better life in Australia ，but Ihechose to go back to London 。with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the riskof being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start, remember, reader, he had a goodheart.” Joe used these words to describe his father. But I think these words can betterdescribe Magwitch. He lived with the fear of death all his life. Who shuts love out, in turnshall be shut outfrom love. However,thankfully,because Pip finally realized his goodheart, his ending was peaceful.
Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his lifesexperiences, and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective,rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal. Still, though Pip "knows" howall the events in the story will turn out,he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that welearn of events only when the Pip in the story does. Pip does, however,use the perspectiveof the bitter lessons hes learned to ment acidly on various actions and attitudes in hisearlier life.
I know how to fully understand this novel,twice is far from enough. Pip,Estella, MissHavisham,Biddy even Mr Wemmick, every single character has a story that is well worth myattention. I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition oneday. Believe me. But before that day es,I will see the movie Great Expectations first.
Search for knowledge, read more,sit on your front porch and admire the view without payingattention to your needs.
Recently, I have finished reading Great Expectations, which is widely considered as the
masterpiece of Dickens. The historic background of this book is Victorian Period which was the time when British was governed by Queen Victoria. The hero of the book is Pip, who was living in a blacksmith family. Someday, he met Magwitch, who was a convict, and he helped him. To show his gratitude, Magwitch gave Pip a good fortune and Pip led a totally different life after he got the money. However, Pip lost all of his money and fame because of his enemies’ plot at the last and become ordinary people at the last.
Dickens is famous for his novel such as Great Expectations, the Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist and so on. He always creates some people in lower class and show their different qualities. In Great Expectations, he tried to show us the conflict between different classes in Victorian
Period by telling us the story of Pip. After Pip got the money, he left his friends and family to city, and then he learned to raise his social state. However, he was a child born in a blacksmith family and there’s a wide gap between him and the upper class. Finally, he lost all of his great
expectations and went back to his hometown as ordinary people. Fortunately, he met his lover, Estella, in Satis House and they left there together at the end of the story.
In the book, my favorite character is Joe, Pip’s brother in law. He was a blacksmith and belonged to the lower social class. However, he possessed some good qualities that made him noble. For example, though Joe didn’t know any word, he thought highly of Pip when Pip tried to write him a letter. What’s more, Pip’s sister always considered Pip as the burden of their family but Joe always believed that his brother can become successful. No matter how unkindly he was treated, Joe was always family to others. Undoubtedly, it’s Joe’s noble quality that prevents Pip from becoming someone snobbish.
In my opinion, the story of Pip is really attractive while the writing style is also special. For example, Dickens used simile and metaphor for many times in his book. When Joe visited Pip, Dickens wrote that Joe had taken his hat as a bird’s nest with egg in. I think it’s hard to show the inner world of characters as well as feeling because those things are really abstract. On the other hand, if we write it directly, that may be boring and childish. And by using simile, Dickens transforms the abstract feeling into visual language, with which we can use our imagination to enjoy the story much more easily. I think that we can also make good use of Dickens’s outstanding skills to improve our writing.
After reading “Great Expectations”， many people complained that the class difference will always result in tragedy and they think that we should try to destroy those barriers. However, I think the massage that Dickens wants to deliver is that we should always be friendly,
warm-hearted and optimistic. With these qualities, we can always lead a happy and comfortable life like Joe even though we don’t have much money.
